“Of course, I am. Now get out of here.”
I watch them both walk away, and they turn to look at me, smiling, before they step inside the clubhouse. Only when they are out of sight do I slump and feel the pain in my body.
“You didn’t want them to know how bad it is, did you?” Rosie is beside me, holding onto me as she helps me walk into the clubhouse.”
“No, I needed to be strong for them.”
“No, you didn’t. They’ll protect you and be there for you no matter what.”
“I know.”
“Right, Rosie. Can you bring her to her new room?” Doc is there walking ahead of us as Rosie holds onto me and brings me to their room, which I guess is my room now.
“Can you take your top off please? The brothers told me that I need to check your back first.”
I wince as I take my top off and turn so that Doc can see the mess.
I hear Rosie gasp. “Meg. I’m so sorry. Seeing this makes me so angry that I want to kill him myself.”
I laugh. Rosie wouldn’t be able to do that if she tried.
“Don’t worry,” Doc says. “There are plenty of men downstairs who are willing to do that for you. Me included now I’ve seen this. There are a couple of those lashes that I need to stitch. I know it’s been a few days, but we need to try and keep the skin together or you are going to be badly scarred.”
“Just do whatever you need to do.”
I lay on the bed and let Doc clean the wounds and add cream or stitch where necessary. “Now, you're done. I’m going to give you some antibiotics just in case there's a chance of an infection. They look clean enough but better to be prepared.”
“Thanks Doc.” I sit up and Rosie sits next to me. When the Doc leaves, there’s a knock at the door. “Yes.”
The door opens and Tiffany comes in. She’s club pussy, but she’s one of the nice ones. “Hey, Meg. How are you doing?”
“I’m okay, Tiff.”
“Do you need anything?”
“I’m fine thanks though, Tiff.”
“Meg, I’m glad you’re home. It’s been hell these last two months. Cash and Ramsey have been up the wall, so has everyone else, but they were really bad. We could see how much they love you.” She blushes like she’s spoken out of turn.
“Thanks. I love them both. I know it’s unconventional, but it works for us.”
Tiff smiles. “I’ll leave you to it, but I just wanted to check in on you and if you need anything, give me a shout.”
I smile at her as she leaves and closes the door.
“Well, that was weird.” Rosie’s brows go up. “She’s lovely and definitely one of the better club girls, but I always feel like she’s after something.”
“I just think she wants to be someone’s old lady and is trying to remove herself from the whoring side of what she does. She’s good at running the bar and the kitchen and I think she wants to stick to that rather than being available to everyone.”
“Yeah, I think you’re right.”
We sit in silence for a couple of minutes. Then Rosie takes my hands. “Now, tell me all about Cash and Ramsey. I need to know the logistics of what’s going on.”
Laughing, I realize how happy I am to be home. I spend the next hour telling her all about the dynamics of my relationship with the two men that I love.
